What is Rainbow Connection?
Rainbow Connection is a two-week long summer theater residency located in the beautiful, queer haven of Cherry Grove, Fire Island, New York. The program is for LGBTQIA+ young adults ages 18-24 to develop an original work of theater that showcases their talents and experiences as a queer human and celebrates the life of important Cherry Grove community members.
Who are we looking for?
LGBTQIA+ young adults ages 18-24 with a passion for the theater arts (drama, music, dance, playwriting, songwriting, comedy, costume/lights/sound/set design) and a willingness to share their story(ies) with the Cherry Grove community.
What will it cost?
Nothing! APCG will provide participating young adults with two weeks of free housing, local public transportation reimbursement and a modest per diem for food.
Do I have to be trained in theater or want to do theater professionally?
No! You just need to be passionate about theater and have a collaborative spirit.
When is this happening?
JULY 31st – AUGUST 12th, 2025
